Universal Studios has announced that it will recreate the
"Simpsons" hometown of Springfield in its Orlando theme park. And everything from Krusty burgers to Duff beer will be available to fans of the long-running animated series.

Finally confirming rumors that Universal was planning this project, the Studios announced on Thursday (May 23) that the area around the Simpsons ride in Orlando would be rebuilt to mimic the streets of Springfield. Landmarks of the real-life town will include Moe's Tavern, a Lard Lad donut shop and a Krusty Burger. As for attractions, Universal plans a new one with a Kang & Kodos theme.

Not announced yet but hopefully a part of the project are such places as the nuclear power plant, the Burns mansion and of course the Simpsons' own house.

Universal Orlando already has one dedicated theme area: the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Considering the popularity of "The Simpsons" over so many years, there is a very good chance that the studios' Springfield creation could be just as much of a success.

Does a recreated Springfield sound good to you? What sort of "Simpsons"-themed attractions would you require to visit? Leave your comments below!
